At least 27 people were reported dead on Friday after Malian commandos stormed a luxury hotel in the capital Bamako with at least 170 people inside, many of them foreigners, that had been seized by Islamist gunmen.
The former French colony has been battling Islamist rebels for several years, and the jihadist group Al Mourabitoun, allied to al Qaeda and based in the deserts of northern Mali, claimed responsibility for the attack in a tweet.
By late afternoon, ministerial adviser Amadou Sangho told the French television station BFMTV that no more hostages were being held.
But a U.N. official said U.N. peacekeepers on the scene had seen 27 bodies in a preliminary count, and that a search of hotel was continuing. It was not clear whether any of the gunmen, who were said to have dug in on the seventh floor of the hotel as special forces advanced on them, were still active.

A Turkish official said five of seven Turkish Airlines staff had also managed to flee. The Chinese state news agency Xinhua said three of 10 Chinese tourists caught inside had been rescued.

Obama wants those terrorists here in the US soon...so we’ll be worried when we go on vacation...
A piss poor analogy but thanks for your thoughts.
And the radical islamists are getting much help from our local and national medias. They all seem to be running pro-muslim refugee stories trying to garner sympathy for the refugees despite over 70% of Americans opposie this, including a split in the democrat party.
Even in our local medias, there has been much opposition commented on their stories but yet they continue to double-down because furthering their agenda is much more important than the safety and security of Americans.
The left, including much of the media, have hit the insane button in order to keep and hold on to power and long have become traitors in doing so.

Not really when you take a look at what has been happening in America much of the last century. Today only 20% of Americans self identify themselves as being leftists but yet they have come to dominate government, media, academia, our schools, the entertainment industry and many other places of influence where we have a very liberal/progressive culture RIGHT NOW. Think about that, we've been under assault by these people for a long, long time and so few in the right places made it happen.

The Bolsheviks are at it again...(proclaim yourselves—even though you are a minority—to be the majority until people believe it.)
Exactly, we just need to continue to expose their lies and expose that they are not a majority.
I suspected a local liberal TV station of doing the same. Leftists dominated the comment sections but the problem with that is our state is dominated by conservatives/republicans. Because of the Syrian refugee debate, conservatives/repubs came out of the woodworks to slam the station and the liberals for trying to push more refugees on us, where they cannot guarantee terrorist infiltration, just like what happened in France.
The station must have been so overwhelmed they took down the comment sections for the whole TV station website (they claim to be putting in a new comment section). That may be so but it’s probably so they can control the message better to their advantage. I’ve seen so many conservatives complain that their comments were never put up in the past, that I don’t trust this station at all.
Of course, there is very little of the media I trust these days anyways. It just goes to show how corrupt they’ve become to their sick agenda.
